    Description:

    The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster was introduced in 1957 as the open-top successor to the legendary 300 SL Gullwing. Between 1957 and 1963, only 1,858 units were produced, with approximately 270 of these later models factory-equipped with modern disc brakes. Today, the 300 SL Roadster is regarded as one of the most coveted and valuable classics in automotive history.

    About this vehicle:

    The example presented here is one of only 270 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadsters delivered with factory-installed disc brakes. It stands out not only for its exceptional overall condition but also for its thoroughly documented history. First delivered on February 23, 1962, through Mercedes-Benz Paris, the car’s continuous and traceable ownership history continues in Germany from 1976 to the present day. All previous registration documents are available in their original form. These are complemented by a comprehensive collection of workshop invoices and correspondence, offering an impressive record of the car’s provenance over several decades.

    The vehicle impresses with its high level of authenticity – the engine still bears the factory-stamped number from its original delivery. In sum, this 300 SL Roadster is a car that captivates both technically and aesthetically, and stands out in particular for its originality and fully documented history – a true collector's item with verifiable provenance.
